He remembers that at that time. for decarbonaising engines, they used a product( English or American) with the name Bardahl or bhardal: This was an additive to the oil, When used into the oil as a preservative for carbonaising, and to clean the cylinder head, just put it into the gasoline. Of corse, when you add it to the oil, the oil becomes very quickly very black, and you have to change the oil after 600 miles. He also asks me, before starting the future work of restoring, if the original TA engine ( wich is named cpjg or xpag, sorry when I am wrong)if there is no other name for it. He claims that the engines he used to restore and renew( he don't know these abreviations) were the same as these in our mg's and they were made by Continental or Standard., or another one wich he doesn't remember.Can anyone confirm this?
